The Crocodile Teeth (remix) is also featured on other Billboard charts. It enters the Billboard Global 200 at 182, and 43 on Digital Song Sales.
Crocodile Teeth (remix) is one of three new songs featured on Nicki Minaj’s Beam Me Up Scotty mixtape, which was re-released on May 14 via Republic Records.
